At first I’m thinking: is this masochism? But then I realize it’s more like an exorcism, and it feels mighty, mighty fine. And obviously they’re pretty easy, big targets, but the scorn, HATRED, derision and all that other wonderful stuff being directed their way will NEVER be enough. The hatred will always be refreshing. - Tue, 26 Dec 2006 9:17pm Edited: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 9:22pm

Hah! This is a very funny list. Yeah, there musta been something in the water at that time. Even Neil Young made that truly horrible Trans record.

It might be fun to make a list of today's horrible hits -the music that is rotting young minds now. I guess I would nominate anything by Nelly Furtado as today's top 40 bile. Man, she is awful. Then of course there is that Justin Timberflake a@#hole. There is a lot of bad music being created today when you start thinking about it. Oh, and don't get me started on the whole American Idol or Rockstar thing-who needs that shit! Does that stuff get played on Top 40? Do people actually listen to the Top 40 radio anymore? I'm trying hard not to pay attention to that crap (thank god for internet radio) but it's everywhere, it seems. These goddam award shows seem to be everywhere too-pumping this crap. I mean how many awards does Nelly Furtado need? And for such horrible music! Alright this is turning into a rant and my head might explode if I keep going.

Over and Out. - Sun, 21 Jan 2007 12:05pm

yeah that american idol shit - how anyone can waste their time watchiing it is beyond me....it's embarrassing, it's putrid, it stands for everything I hate hate hate.....and it's also fucking weak, too......it's the lowest of the low of not having a life, basically. - Sun, 21 Jan 2007 1:16pm Edited: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 1:24pm

Haha, yeah I think it's time for a serious backlash against American Idol. Remember Disco Demolition Night in 1979? They filled Comiskey Park with 50,000 people for the sole purpose of blowing up disco records. We need an American Idol CD Demolition Night! - Sun, 21 Jan 2007 5:40pm Edited: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 9:34pm
